As Dean Harvey would say, "Wow!"

This has been an awesome first half of the year. The body is certainly growing spiritually and numerically.

We will be casting two new homegroups this coming week. The Pascucci's and Saylor's will be leading a group beginning this coming Wednesday. The Schwartz and Ammeter families will also host their meeting on Wednesday during the summer.

These two groups will be made up of those who were part of the Wednesday discipling group. Members of this group should pray about what home fellowship they would like to be in and contact one of the leaders.

Just a quick reminder that our church is based on a discipling model, and that takes place through our Home Fellowships. Over and over we see home groups go through these seven stages:

1. Birthed

2. Team Building

3. Outreach

4. Follow-up

5. Discipling

6. Leadership development

7. Multiplication and repeat the cycle

These two new groups will be team building for a while and will be ready for the outreach this fall.

Meanwhile, all the old Home Fellowship Leaders are in a group together and are beginning the outreach stage. They hope to double their group by Christmas and then multiply the group.

The CTS students will be breaking into groups at the end of the summer and we will resume all Home Fellowships as usual.

Begin praying about the fall outreach. We are believing God for great things and are organizing the body for an ingathering.

Seeking Him with you,

Billy Henderson
